APC in Anambra expects 90% victory for Buhari

www.odogwublog.com reports that the Director of Contact and Mobilization of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Anambra,

Mr Dozie Ikedife (Jnr) yesterday in Nnewi assured that General Muhammadu Buhari's landslide victory in Anambra and other South Eastern States was a rested case.

His assumption is "based on comparative analysis and what the Igbo needs now. He said the victory would not be less than 90%’’.

Mr Ikedife , son of former Anambra Ohaneze Boss Dr Dozie Ikedife said time had come when the Igbo would face the reality devoid of sentiments in their political decisions. He said that President Goodluck Jonathan had not done much for the Igbo to deserve their votes for a second tenure.

Mr Ikedife cited road infrastructure, housing and needed federal presence as some of the areas he said the Igbo were neglected in the scheme of things. He argued that Ebele and Azikiwe that were added to the name of President Jonathan should only be seen as a political gimmick, saying that if President Jonathan had Azikiwe as one of his names, he should not have left the Great Zik's mausoleum uncompleted many years after his burial.

He said that the major mission for Buhari’s coming back to power was to stop monumental corruption which he said had characterized Jonathan's administration.

"President Jonathan gave us the impression in 2011 that he was an Igbo man and we voted for him. He used second Niger Bridge then for his campaign and we all thought he was serious to do the project but all to nothing. He is using it again this time. No, it can't work. We have understood his antics. We rather need a change, sentiment apart," Ikedife explained.

On whether Buhari is not too old to return to power, he said: "My father is about 85 years old, yet he is still active as a medical doctor. He performs surgery that can last for four hours without getting tired because he is still very strong and articulate. Many world leaders today are far older than Buhari. Look Robbert Mugabe, he is 89; Queen of England is in her 80s and so many examples like that. Buhari is still a little boy at 72 and you should know that age is a question of number.

Commenting on the experimented INEC card reader, he said that the PDP was afraid to use the machine as it would not allow it to rig the election.
